Wow, this card is bright!

It’s an absolutely gorgeous day here and I have absolutely no desire to go for a walk. I always have allergies this time of the year but last night I finally admitted that Joe’s cold germs have invaded me and fought off the allergens and turned them into cold viruses. Translation – I have a cold……… and not happy about it. I’ve gone all winter without being sick and now that the weather is nice, I have a cold!!! Oh well, I’ve been using my Neti pot and that helps a lot – and taking Echinacea. If you use a Neti pot or buy one, make sure you use boiled water, not tap water. I just boil it in a pan for about 5 minutes and then let it cool. There have been cases of people using tap water that caused their death because of something in the water getting to the brain. Boiled water is perfectly safe and the Neti Pot is highly recommended by the one and only Dr. Oz.

I did get my papers moved over to the new storage unit, which turned out came with wheels so I can move it around – nice! But after that I decided to try to do some scrapbooking. Nothing seemed to work for me. I guess the cold germs are blurring the artistic genes because they are just not working day. Maybe this is a good day to just do some more sorting and organizing and forget about being creative.

Today’s card was made for the Stamping Bella challenge. This week is was a sketch. Here’s my card.

This is bright! But then again some people just brighten up the day so I’m sure someone will enjoy receiving this card. Most of the paper all came from one of those .99, 6” paper packs from Michaels except for the hot pink – it was from the stash. The fancy square is a Spellbinder die. The image was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and this time I blended them a wee bit with gamsol.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Cheers

Violet
